Got up early and got my long run in on the SGM course. I love running in the early morning there! I started at Diamond Valley and ran 4 miles towards Dammeron then turned back and ran down the course to the finish line. I felt great about everything through about 17 miles. I started to get un motivated and tired at that point. I did not use gu or anything this morning, I ran on water. The last mile in to the finish felt pretty strong. I ended up running a 7:51 pace for the run. Not fast by any means but that would be wonderful for me come the marathon. I never pushed anything very strong, just went with the body and tried to take it easy. I was determined to not walk up any hills this morning and made that goal! Now I just want to stay healthy for the next month! 10:30am Just completed a 18.90 mile bike ride to the Running Center and back. 15.3mph (6.30) Just noticed that I hit 1500 miles for the year. I would have never thought I would put those kind of miles on.........my thinking before last year was. why run when you can drive your car! LOL
